Protect Your Thatch.
Protect Your Property.
Professional fire-protection treatment for thatched roofs, helping improve resistance and reduce risk while preserving the natural appearance and character of your roof.
Thatch Is Beautiful.
Protection Matters.
A thatched roof is a natural roofing system, which means fire safety should always be taken seriously.
Ndex Thatch provides specialist fire-protection treatment for existing and newly thatched roofs. The purpose of the treatment is to improve the roof’s resistance to ignition and help reduce the spread of flame.
The treatment is professionally applied to the thatching while maintaining the natural appearance of the roof.
Designed To Add
An Extra Layer Of Protection.
Improved Fire Resistance
Treatment can help slow ignition and reduce how quickly flame spreads across thatched material.
Professional Application
Correct application is important for even coverage and effective treatment across the roof surface.
Suitable For Existing Roofs
Fire-protection treatment can be applied to suitable existing thatched roofing following an assessment.
Natural Appearance
The goal is to improve protection while allowing the roof to retain the natural look that makes thatching unique.
The Right Treatment.
Applied Properly.
Fire protection is not something we recommend treating as a quick DIY add-on.
Different roofs vary in age, thickness, condition and construction. Before any work is carried out, the roof should be assessed so the appropriate treatment approach can be determined.
Our team applies the fire-protection treatment carefully and systematically to achieve consistent coverage across the relevant areas of the roof.

The Bigger The Roof,
The More Important The Detail.
Large thatched structures represent a significant investment. Appropriate fire-protection treatment should form part of a sensible approach to maintaining and protecting that investment.

Is Fire Protection
Right For Your Roof?
Speak to us if you're unsure whether your thatch roof should be assessed or treated.
Newly Thatched Roofs
Fire protection can be considered as part of the overall finishing and protection plan for a new roof.
Existing Thatched Homes
Older roofs can be assessed to determine whether professional treatment is suitable.
Lapas & Entertainment Areas
Outdoor areas often involve braais, fireplaces and other potential ignition sources close to thatching.
Larger Properties & Facilities
Larger thatched structures can benefit from professional assessment as part of a wider roof maintenance plan.
Fire protection reduces risk — it does not make a thatched roof completely fireproof.
Good fire safety also includes responsible use of open flames, fireplaces and braais, suitable electrical installations, routine maintenance and appropriate fire-safety measures around the property.
